Uncovering the Past
Emsworth, Oysters and Men Anew book written by local historian Linda Newell telling
the story of how oysters made Emsworth's fortune, and how the decline of
the industry could have been the end for Emsworth.
The book is priced at £8.00 with proceeds being
divided between EmsworthMuseum
and the fund to maintain Terror.
It is on sale at Bookends, the bookshop opposite
the Crown in the High Street.It is
also available directly from Linda on 01243 371608 or
envr@btinternet.com. You
can also drop your details through the letterbox of the Museum in North Street,
and someone will contact you.
It is a deliberate policy that the book is only
available in Emsworth. The story is a uniquely Emsworth story, and
it is logical that it can only be obtained in Emsworth.
A book to be enjoyed - it is a good read with
interesting photographs and original works by Angela Loader and Marion
Forster.
The Oyster Trail
Guide may be purchased at the Museum and other outlets in Emsworth.
